Hi, I'm Jon Cohen from Beyond Comics, Maryland’s largest comic book store. I'm here to show you how to start a comic book collection. When you are using a comic box with a more newer inventions is a comic drawer box, it hardens back to the concept of a filing cabinet but it’s a little harder to assemble because it comes in parts.
There are there three parts, the sliff, the inner sliff and the box. I will assemble those for you. unlike a regular comic box it does not have a lead and it does not slide this much. They come for some reason with extra pieces which we use for dividers and I think they designed it that way. You fold the comic book box by pressing on the creases always first to hold the shape better. I usually recommend the main four.
Boxes are designed with a deeper cut on one side, so wen you pull the flap up one side goes inside the other. The flap up and over, and the two tabs go in to the holes. Both sides work the same way. Gives you the inner box, the sliff assembles slightly different. Like the regular comic box it comes as one complete unit. Doing the drawer box, you do the back first with two flaps an extra flap on the side to hold it, slides in, slides in we will tab there and leave the top open.
Then you take the inner sliff, there are two sides one has a decrease a showing, that’s the side you want in fold all the creases. I usually like to keep the open section to the bottom. The bottom is easy enough to tell because the wholes in those need to line up. slides down to the interior of the box like so then the flaps fold over. The big ones first we will square fold on the top, you can adjust unless you fold it. put it right side up, slide box in, candles line up, you have a better storage system and able to be built up like a filing cabinet, there is your drawer box.
In the next segment, I want to show you how to properly stock your boxes.
